What is new in your little world?

Over the weekend, I hiked up to the highest point in Texas (Gaudalupe Peak). 3000ft climb

I also got to see Carlsbad Caverns. Absolutely amazing. It's impossible to describe this place. It's so unique, it almost seems artificial when you're walking around in it. Here's a pic, but it doesn't do it any justice. Just google for some professional pics. But just go see it if you get the chance...

Nice snaps xer0s

I've taken to getting up some local mountain in the next weeks and before it gets too hot.

Re: What is new in your little world?

Santa came early for me and I scored the Lego Technic 42055, Bucket Wheel Excavator, the largest LEGO® Technic set to date! Should be heaps of fun

It is nice to secure it early because, in my experience, these big sets tend to sell very fast.

Nice view up there

Is that 3000ft elevation gain, or 3000ft above sea level?

Post by **xer0s** » Wed Sep 07, 2016 1:44 am

3000ft gain

Took my brother, his gf, and his friends, to Krabi. It sucked. Would not go back. I think I've given up on traveling in Thailand. Philippines is much better for water/beaches/diving.

Cool. I've got a couple kayaks myself.

lvl that shit, yo!

Just got back from 5 weeks of Thailand and while i wouldn't say it sucked per se i share your sentiments. Probably won't be going back there anytime soon...

Of course

Don't know about your Amsterdam trip seeing as bachelor parties can either suck or not depending on the people, but Berlin should be amazing

I've caught an episode or two. Maybe I need to start watching it more.

Can we get some clarification on why Thailand is so shitty? I'm looking to traveling to that part of the country soon...

Me, trying to get a replacement remote for my antique TF7000HDPVRt.

I do have a later model (replacement) but I now figure to be using the old machine occasionally.

I just have high standards. There are always tourists in Thailand, everywhere you go. The beaches really aren't that nice by SE Asia standards. If you want beaches, go to the Philippines. If you want diving, go Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are still great cities, but the other parts just aren't worth going to. Go to the Philippines instead.

Santa is such a nice Guy!

actually according to my son the 90's did some real creative stuff, the plotter , space shuttle, helicopter with control center, that superfast remote racer things.etc

the parts are better now than ever b4 yea but they keep pushing out an awful lot of construction sets, the aero sets are good tho
